“Le Cascine” is the largest public and green park in Florence and is located between Piazza Vittorio Veneto and the Indiano Bridge, along the Arno bank. This park is the perfect place to run and play with your pet. Many Florentines on weekends stroll through the “Viale degli Olmi”, do sports or relax in one of the many green meadows that characterize this place.
It is worthwhile visiting the Prato del Quercione, considered the largest green area of the estate of Alessandro and Cosimo de ‘Medici, the “Prato delle Cornacchie” where you will also find a wonderful amphitheater (in summer it offers many open air concerts!), the “Prato della Tinaia” and the “Colmo dell’argine dell’Arno”. If you are in Florence for a few days, the Cascine is definitely “a must-see”. If you are also accompanied by a cute four-legged companion, embrace your inner child and have fun playing Frisbee with him!
For the occasion you will need: a dog, a Frisbee and a great desire to play!
